Answer 12

• uneeveenly thickened cell walls (non-lignified)
• soft and pliable
• live at maturity
• appear to glisten

Question 13

Describe sclerenchyma cells

Answer 13

• evenly thickened cell walls (lignified)
• hard, not pliable

What gives pears their gritty texture?

Answer 14

Sclerids

Question 15

What are sclerids?

Answer 15

• 3D, short
• found in ground tissue
• make up seed coats, shells of nuts, and endocarp of stone fruit

Question 16

What is phelloderm?

Answer 16

Phelloderm is a layer of parenchyma produced by the cork cambium
- functions in defense

Question 17

What does cambium mean?

Answer 17

Mitotic - actively dividing

Principal function of sieve elements.

Answer 23

Long distance transport of food materials and signaling molecules

Question 24

Function of sclerenchyma

Answer 24

support, sometimes storage

Question 25

Two components of sclerenchyma in phloem.

Answer 25

Question 26

Is xylem dead or alive at maturity?

Answer 26

Dead

Question 27

Is phloem dead or alove at maturity?

Answer 27

Alive

Question 28

Are stomata on the top of bottom more often and why?

Answer 28

On the bottom because they are more likely to dry out if on the top.

Question 29

What is a trichome?

Answer 29

A small hair or other outgrowth from the epidermis of a plant

Question 30

What is a stomata composed of?

Answer 30

Two guard cells and a stomatal opening

Question 31

What is the cork cambium?

Answer 31

A meiotic layer that produces more cork
